HERMIONE - FRENCH - 1780

Fayette used this boat to cross Atlantic for his second trip to the United
States, in 1780, and to participate in the war of the American’s independence.
Therefore that symbolized a French-American friendship. In fact frigates
as Hermione are not very big boats. Hermione, precisely, is almost 65 meters
in lengths, 11, 5 meters wide. On board there were more than 300 men. This
is because at the same time men were needed for manipulation and navigation,
especially perhaps during the operation of the cannons which needed nine
men for each cannon.
